Popcorn Culture - Throwback: Blade

Often celebrated as the first black superhero film adaptation, this 1998 film brought one of Marvel’s darker characters to life, and features a charisma-loaded main cast: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Kris Kristofferson. While it received middling reviews, the movie has gone on to gain cult classic status and spawn an entire franchise. We revisit the movie and talk about whether time has been kind to it. 

Produced by: Lee Chwi Lynn, Sharmilla Ganesan, Arvindh Yuvaraj
